not as handy as having a clock always ticking right there on every page tho.

yes, true, it would be handy to have both your time and CC time on the page... but wouldn't having your time on the page be a little unnecesary as you (should) already have it on screen when exploring the web (bottom right corner for Windows users)?And besides, it would take extra programming to implement both times... to just display CC time it would hardly take more than 5 lines of code, I would imagine. Not that both couldn't be done, it would just be easier to do CC time.

Yea, pretty much.

And Leehar, that's such a complicated process and I don't know how many people would think of that (I know I wouldn't). Plus having to logout isn't very fun.

I guess, but as I said, you have the time on the forum homepage, so I really don't see a need to put CC time on the top of every page, specially since that'll mean that everyone will need to convert that CC time to your normal one. I really think the BB code is a lot better for situations instead of complicating it with a CC time clock for everyone.

well, normally we already know what time it is for us, but we don't know what time it is for CC. that's the point of putting a CC clock at the top. It'll be the same no matter where you are in the world.

No one's complicating it at all. You realize that considering people's local time is shown on their computer anyway (bottom right for PCs, top right for Macs I think) that they won't have to convert anything. They'll see what CC time it is during their local time with the Live Clock and plan accordingly (when the CC time advances 5 hours, my local time advanced 5 hours). Things like that.

No conversion necessary. And like I said, having to click around (especially if in Live Chat or a speed game) to figure out what CC time it is isn't the most practical thing.

I just mentioned it because at the time of that post I was actually at varsity and the clock at the bottom right was showing 7 am when it was actually 2 pm (and which got me late to class as well >_>)

With regards to CC time, as I said earlier, thats what the bb code is for? I'm really not seeing a scenario where you'd desperately need a CC clock at the top of the page instead of using the resources that are already at your disposal. I've seen those clocks you mentioned before, but it's irritated me more than anything else having a clock thats always giving me a different time than my actual...

well then, if the CC time clock at the top of the page would drive you nuts, then maybe we can have a feature that turns it on/off. Now I see why you'd want your own time to display as well, and maybe we can features that switch between the two? But really I find it unecessary in my situation and opinion.

I had this idea the other day... and came and looked and we are... Some folks already requested it.

Now Here is my input on it:I think we should use a 24 hour Military Time Clock Clock should be Bold Red Numbers... Example May 26, 2011 @ 19:30 hrs CC Standard TimeCall the time CC STANDARD

If someone wanted to stay on their own Clock time... then they should be given (For Example... if you are 5 hours ahead) a CC + 5.00 by the clock to remind them.... (or let them switch times with a simple click)

I don't want to be rude, but any suggestion that involves logging out of the site is not much of a suggestion at all =/

Besides, the clock could also be configured to display your local time next to CC time.

Check before logging on then? Tbh, the only reason I saw cc time at all was because the forums log me out so often if I don't stay 'active' for long enough...

The reason why I think this is such a good suggestion is because the amount of time spent programming this seems like it would be very, very miniscule for something that'll save a lot of clicking. I also think it would make the site look better from a visual standpoint as it fills up empty space.

I mean, yea, it's not the most important thing ever, but it's certainly more important than something like "Skip a game", which I still don't understand why it was implemented.

The time I have on CC forum home page is my own time, which differs from the CC time, and I never remember how many hours to adjust for CC time. As a result, I don't participate in any "timed" events.

This idea of showing a standard time for everyone on the site would change that. You'd know precisely when something starts.

Either way causes a conversion requirement; showing what time CC thinks it is, helps people do the conversion without having to remember how many hours to add or subtract and whether CC thinks it's am or pm.

To be honest, I don't get the idea behind CC time. The forum knows your timezone, so it's somewhere in your profile, and it can display the correct times when someone posts. So it apparently is able to convert times. This goes for CC too, since it displays the log in the correct timezone too. Just make something (a tag or something like it) so the time shows up in every person's own timezone (which you can adjust through your own settings). Then there wouldn't be any problem, and no need to have a CC time and convert that.
